Re: Contouring and CVV

Fred,

Huh?
When I am programming centerline, using a large tool (being aware
that the radius of the tool is "adjusting" REAL f/r), I insert an "f"-
word to get back to the intended f/r. Same as slowing for inside
corners when pocketing. Why doesn't this work!? (Since I think it
does) Same with crack-the-whip, if I'm understanding your usage of
the term.

All these things were well understood and used by manual programmers
before Computer CAM systems became common.

Also, would you please explain the below re-posted p. on your view of
CVV. I'm not following you...

Thank you in advance.
